FAQ about hiring Google API and Services developers

Where can I find Google API and Services developers?

You can find Google API Services developers through freelance platforms (Upwork, Toptal), job boards (Indeed, Glassdoor), LinkedIn, or Github and Discord professional communities. Either of these options grants access to more developers, but vetting them takes time.

Alternatively, you can turn to outsourcing IT companies. But while taking over the vetting process, vendors also limit the number of potential candidates.

In contrast, Lemon.io offers the best of both worlds. We unlock access to a vast talent pool of over 1,200 developers and screen each candidate before matching them with our clients.

What is the no-risk trial period for hiring a Google API and Services developer on Lemon.io?

Lemon.io offers a no-risk trial period for hiring a Google API Services developer so you can get to know the software engineer we recommend. The paid trial period can last up to 20 hours. Once it’s complete, you can settle into a weekly or monthly subscription or switch to another candidate. We promise to substitute the developer who doesn’t meet your requirements.

If you notice any issues, feel free to use the “Report a problem” feature in your client profile and explain your trouble in detail. We’ll assess your case and have another developer rework your project or refund up to 40 hours. Although we never actually had to do that, we assure you that this option will always be on the table.

Are Google API and Services developers in demand?

Google API Service developers are in high demand. Google offers over 200 free and enterprise-level APIs, ranging from popular integrations (Sheets, Calendar, Gmail, Maps) to niche solutions (Policy Analyzer, BigQuery API). eCommerce and other online businesses make the most of Google Analytics APIs, while influencers capitalize on YouTube data integrations. Adding Google API Services functionality to pre-existing infrastructure requires solid expertise — and that’s where our skilled developers step in.

You can hire a Google API Services developer through Lemon.io within 48 hours of completing our form. We’ll analyze your needs and automatically match you with devs who have the skills required for your project. It usually takes no more than two days to set up an interview. If you’re happy with the interview results, you can add funds to your balance and get the developer working on your project right away.

How much does a Google API and Services developer charge per hour?

The developer’s hourly rate depends on factors like location (US-based engineers’ rates are higher than those of offshore developers), years of experience with Google API Services, payment model, project complexity, and integration requirements.

What is the vetting process for developers at Lemon.io?

Developers at Lemon.io pass a four-stage vetting cycle:
We screen applications for experience, English level, and stack.
We evaluate the candidates’ CVs and portfolios
We host interviews to check English proficiency and basic competencies.
